Unwind Dhigurah

Dhigurah

À la carte and continental breakfast options with local specialities, pancakes and fruits are available daily at the guest house. Guests can eat in the on-site family-friendly restaurant, which is open for dinner, lunch, brunch and high tea. Unwind has been much more than just a hotel, it has been a home away from home. The hotel itself is beautifully designed and you get amazing views of the trees and the ocean from the top terrace. Food is great (don't forget to try the local breakfast, it's very good) and they provide anything you could need during your stay. The room was fabulous (we stayed on the ground floor) and the bed was comfy. The hotel is very close to the tourist beach which is extremely convenient if you plan on spending your days in the sun. We also felt extremely safe there, so much that we never remembered to lock the door to our room! Most importantly, the best part of Unwind is definitely the team of people working there. Nilanka has been a wonderful host who has made every moment of our stay memorable, he has an excellent attitude and will always assist you with a smile and give you the best tips and find the best options that will suit you for your holiday. He has done everything we could ask for and more and has made our stay a luxury experience, greatly exceeding every expectation we had when we arrived to Maldives. He took photos and videos for us, he made sure we got everywhere on time and that we were protected against mosquitoes, he got us fresh coconuts to try and him and the rest of the team even organized a wonderful romantic dinner on the terrace where we had the most amazing grilled fish and curry. He was so helpful that we feel like we had a friend next to us the whole time. We also have to thank Janaka for keeping everything clean and working perfectly in our room and being there for us when we needed anything. One of the doors to the pool in our room wasn't working properly when we got there and he got it fixed on the same day without us having to ask for it :) He also decorated our bed with flowers which was a beautiful and nice surprise.

The whole interior was peaceful and its own little haven. Dinner was delicious! Unfortunately, we were only able to stay one night, but we would return in a heartbeat.

Ithaa Dhigurah

Dhigurah

The unit is air conditioned and is comprised of a terrace with an outdoor dining area as well as a flat-screen TV with cable channels. The guest house offers bed linen, towels and housekeeping service. Everything was just amazing! I think that if you decide to go to a local island, it is only fair to go and mix with the locals! And this guesthouse is just perfect for this! In few minutes you are at the local beach and the port and you can see a beautiful sunrise! If you turn left, you can reach the bikini beach within less than 10 min and trust me, although it's hot, it is a beautiful walk, passing through the local houses, the school or directly through the beach. So location for me was a 10/10! The guesthouse is amazing, it is super clean and the rooms are spacious and nice, plus they are super well equipped. It really looks like a hotel honestly! I chose the halfboard pension, so breakfast and dinner (once I got there) and I've always eaten super well and could choose from different options. Finally, the staff is really nice and attentive! A huge thanks to Maumoon for teaching me some Maldivian useful words and for organizing everything and always providing the right info! To Mekey who was the best guide ever - I've been on snorkeling excursions in many places and Mekey is super attentive and will always bring you to see all the beautiful fish there is + the Mantas were just wow. To Pathum for making all my breakfasts and dinners fun, for the good talks and for his professional attitude! To the chef for always making me eat super well! And to Mujib for all the room decorations (he's the best) and for always making my room super clean. Again thank you to all the staff, I will definitely come back here if I come to Dhigurah again!

Dhangethi INN

Dhangethi

The guest house will provide guests with air-conditioned units with a desk, a kettle, an oven, a microwave, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a terrace and a private bathroom with a hot tub. There is also a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen equipped with a toaster, a fridge, and a stovetop. At the guest house, units come with bed linen and towels. I did a multi island trip for a few price points and the budget part of my trip at Dhangethi Inn was a standout in large part due to Tholal. I came for the marine life and freediving with Tholal was the biggest highlight of my Maldives trip. His underwater videography skills are top notch and I got a wonderful compilation video of myself with so many bucket list pelagics 🥰 (and for free too?!) Snorkelling masks and fins rental are free. His videos are free. He'll take you out on a tour of the house reef and for a snorkel around the island for free. He'll take you to a nearby sandbank for a fraction of the cost of what resorts will charge you. Tholal is soooo generous with his time and will do his best to make your wishlist come true. There are only a few rooms at the Inn so he'll do his best to meet the needs of all his guests. Some activities e.g. snorkelling with whalesharks require a speedboat rental so will only be affordable if there are more people so if you're going during an off season I recommend staying for a few days at least to make sure you get the chance to tick everything off your list. (I had to wait for more guests to arrive on day 2 of my stay) Oh and for those who arent used to Muslim culture, just be aware this is a local island so dress conservatively, be respectful, and don't be surprised if you hear some songs or prayers from the nearby mosque :) BOOK NOW. SUPPORT THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN. IT'S WORTH IT.
